Successfully adjusting to one's environment leads to happiness. War at a universal level war destroys the
weaker people, who are the most unable to adjust to their environment. Thus, war at the universal level
puts weaklings out of their misery and allows more space for their predators to enjoy life in a better
manner. As those actions have to be performed, which maximize the level of happiness of the greatest
number, war at a universal level should take place.
What response would the author of the above discussion come up with, in the case of the objection that
the weaklings far exceed strong people?
I. He would respond with the statement that the person making the objection is a weakling.
II. He would respond by saying that weaklings will be miserable no matter what happens.

mice were injected with a harmless sugar solution. In two weeks' time 39% of the white mice, who were
injected with Serum D contracted the highly contagious and often fatal disease, jungle fever. Hence, it
can be concluded that jungle fever is caused by some elements similar to the elements in Serum D.
The above discussion would be weakened most severely in case it is shown that:-
The natural habitats of white mice does not contain any of the elements found in Serum D.
One among the 160 white mice had already contracted jungle fever prior to the laboratory
experiment.
The scientists administered the injections being ignorant of the contents of the solutions used.
People contracting jungle fever are usually the victims of the bite of the South American Lesser

Some lawyers are of the view that the observation of the intrinsic qualities of pornography in any
composition depends on literary criticism and hence it is a matter of opinion. It is rather odd, though, that
in a legal connection, serious critics themselves quite often behave as if they believed criticism to be a
matter of opinion. Why be a critic - and teach in universities - in case criticism involves nothing but
uttering capricious and arbitrary opinions?
In the above argument the author is trying to establish that:-

Classical works occupy a unique and peculiar position. They are imperishable as cultural landmarks, but
the views expressed in some of the works are often superseded by newer views. But the classics survive
just like ancient castles, as imposing features of the landscape, yet unsuited for habitation unless
remodelled.
The principal point put forth in the above passage is that classical works.
Demand our respect and admiration even if their ideas are no longer current.
Should be preserved and treasured as scholarly opinion keeps changing and they will come into
fashion again.
Prove to be obstacles in the path of new ideas as they are unduly respected.

Ever since the communications-entertainment firms have taken over publishing concerns, the
management's new methods have increased the financial profits of commercial publishing. This is done at
the price of narrowing the range of available books to the public and by catering to the vulgar tastes of the
new buyers of books. Their business has boomed; but in the process the losers are the majority of
authors or aspiring writers, and all discriminating readers.
In case the above statement is true, which among the following will hold true?
The limited range of books available to the public is directed toward a more discriminating audience.
The readership which commercial publishing caters to today is different from the readership served in
the past.

There is a theory that the dinosaurs inhabiting the earth were destroyed when a huge heavenly body hit
the earth. The impact of the heavenly body when it struck the earth threw a mass of pulverized debris into
the atmosphere. This dust created a fog, which blocked the sunlight depleting plant life. This resulted in
the perishing of the plant-eating dinosaurs; the meat-eating dinosaurs, who preyed on the plant-eaters
inturn starved to death.
Which among the following statements, would best support the above mentioned theory, if true?
Craters formed by heavenly bodies are plentiful in several areas of the South west where many
dinosaur fossils have also been found.
Enough dust has been sent into the atmosphere by modern volcanic explosions to change the color
of sunsets around the world for several years.
Studies conducted recently on the bone structure of dinosaurs show that they were very agile and
not ponderous awkward animals as popularly believed.
The sedimentary rock strata of the earth formed from atmospheric dust at the time the dinosaurs
disappeared contains minerals and other trace elements in proportions characteristic of the heavenly
bodies.

Pharmaceutical firms are now engaged in the production of analogues of endorphins, peptides, which are
thought to transmit messages among brain cells, which bring about pain relief. The pharmaceutical firms
claim that the analogues, when injected into the bloodstream, will lead to effective and long-lasting pain
relief by increasing the action of peptides already present in the brain.
The claims put forth by the pharmaceutical firms would be considerably weakened if it were true that:-
It is easier and cheaper to produce analogues of peptides in the laboratory than the peptides
themselves.
Compared to the other types of neurotransmitters present in the brain, endorphins remain active for a
longer time period.
Analogues of peptides, which are found naturally in the body are often filtered from the blood before
the blood circulates in the brain.
Certain peptides have been traced in parts besides the brain, like the alimentary canal and the skin.

Virus M helps in controlling the population of gnats; they manage to do this by killing the moth's larvae.
Though the virus is always present in the larvae, it is only every six or seven years that the virus seriously
decimates the numbers of larvae, greatly reducing the population of the gnats. Scientists are of the
opinion that the gnats, usually latent, are activated only when the larvae experience biological stress.
In case the above mentioned scientists are correct, it can be inferred that the decimation of gnat
populations by the virus M could be most probably activated by the following conditions?
The resultant stress from defoliation of trees attacked by the gnats for the second consecutive year.
A shift by the gnats from drought areas to a normal area occupied by them

Walk into any supermarket or pharmacy and you will find several shelves of products designed to protect
adults and children from the sun. Additionally, a host of public health campaigns have been created,
including National Skin Cancer Awareness Month, that warn us about the sun's damaging UV rays and
provide guidelines about protecting ourselves. While warnings about the sun's dangers are frequent, a
recent survey found that fewer than half of all adults adequately protect themselves from the sun.
This paragraph best supports the statement that:-
children are better protected from the sun's dangerous rays than adults.
adults are not heeding the warnings about the dangers of sun exposure seriously enough.
